The Forbidden Fruit?

I was planning to write a pithy article on the many things which have gotten my goat this week, but I’ve had it up to here and the relevant angles have been covered by far better writers. I’ll just leave you with a picture of my boys thumbing their noses at the City of Oak Park, Michigan for their decision to fine a homeowner for violation of “a code that says a front yard has to have suitable, live, plant material.” Matthew Yglesias of Think Progress reacts appropriately: Michigan Woman Faces Jail Time For Vegetable Garden (Btw, where is the Libertarian outcry on this?)

(Full disclosure: There are tomatoes, peppers, melons, beans, onions, lettuce, strawberries, grapes, and blueberries tucked in around the decorative plants you see here. Alert the feds!)

If you found this interesting, I welcome you to check out my books. I'm currently finishing up the last part of the book on Brexit that I'm serializing. Parts (1) covering the challenges in the EU prior to the referendum, & 2) which dives into the primary factors that drove the referendum's result, are already out. Part 3, which covers the events and circumstances following the EU referendum in June 2016, is scheduled for late 2018. The first book by the Wicked Problems Collaborative, an anthology titled, "What do we do about inequality?" is also available!
